Summary
| Description |
English: To Killybegs Bay in Donegal today and a welcome return to the Tynan Collection! A corvette of the Irish Naval Service lies at anchor in the bay while the photographer kindly ensures that the loom of the oar that helped propel him out to take the shot is in view. What was the occasion for the visit and which of the corvettes was captured by Mr. Tynan?
With thanks to inputs from John Spooner and others, the suggestion is that this image was taken in the 1950s. Possibly during one of the Killybegs Regatta festivals - an event which LÉ Macha seems to have attended almost annually between 1950 and at least the mid-1950s. The photo was certainly taken before 1970 (ship decommissioned), and very likely before 1960 (background of other images in series).... Photographers: Denis Tynan 1923 - 2010 Collection: Tynan Photographic Collection Date: Certainly before 1970 (ship scrapped). Probably 1950s (see notes) NLI Ref: NPA TYN1028 You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie |
